Forward of Torpedo, **[Aleksey Kashtanov](https://example.com/tags/36157-aleksej-kashtanov/)**, shared his thoughts on the coaching of **Andrey Talalaev** after the first stage match of the quarter-finals in the Regions Path of the Fonbet Cup of Russia, where the Baltic team triumphed over their Kaliningrad opponents with a score of 2-0.

“In the game against Baltic, we had our chances, but unfortunately, we couldn’t convert them. Such things happen in football. We’ve analyzed Baltic’s matches, and they are very strong physically; they’re not afraid to take on opponents one-on-one. Andrey Viktorovich Talalaev is doing great work, uncovering new talents like Ivan Belikov and others. It’s a pleasure to watch,” Kashtanov remarked during an interview with Championship correspondent Nikolai Baranov.

It’s worth noting that Talalaev managed Torpedo from 2022 to 2023.
